Membrane proteins and membrane proteomics
PROTEOMICS, 2008Abstract Biological membranes form an essential barrier between living cells and their external environments, as well as serve to compartmentalize intracellular organelles within eukaryotes. The latter includes membranes that envelope the nucleus, the outer and inner membranes of the mitochondria, membrane cisternae complex of the ER,

Integral membrane proteins play important roles in living cells. Due to difficulties of experimental techniques, theoretical approaches, i.e., topology prediction methods, are important for structure determination of this class of proteins. Here we show a detailed comparison of transmembrane topology prediction methods. According to this comparison, we

Abstract Proteins constitute the largest fraction by weight of most membranes, and their properties are critical to membrane functions. A brief discussion is given of some salient theoretical and experimental advances of the last decade in our understanding of the structures of proteins in membranes, which have led to the fluid mosaic model of ...

Protein-Protein Interactions in Membranes
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2011In this article we review the current status of our understanding of membrane mediated interactions from theory and experiment. Phenomenological mean field and molecular models will be discussed and compared to recent experimental results from dynamical neutron scattering and atomic force microscopy.

MCP serves to down-regulate the activation of complement on host tissue. It performs this function by serving as a cofactor for the factor I-mediated cleavage of C3b and C4b. MCP is most likely an intrinsic regulator, i.e., it primarily protects its home cell.

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1972
I RECENTLY summarized X-ray diffraction data from some natural membranes to show that the original Danielli-Davson model is not valid for them1. A second widely-discussed structural model, having protein inserted into a lipid bilayer, was put forward as an alternative.

Separation of cells and organelles by bilayer membranes is a fundamental principle of life. Cellular membranes contain a baffling variety of proteins, which fulfil vital functions as receptors and signal transducers, channels and transporters, motors and anchors.

Membrane phosphoinositides and protein–membrane interactions
Amino Acids, 2013Proteins with polybasic clusters bind to negatively charged phosphoinositides at the cell membrane. In this review, I have briefly discussed the types of phosphoinositides naturally found on membrane surfaces and how they recruit protein complexes for carrying out the process of signal transduction.

Lipid Membranes for Membrane Proteins
2014The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of membrane proteins requires the setup of an accurate representation of lipid bilayers. This chapter describes the setup of a lipid bilayer system from scratch using generally available tools, starting with a definition of the lipid molecule POPE, generation of a lipid bilayer, energy minimization, MD simulation,

The cell membrane and membrane proteins
2018This chapter talks about biological membranes that have a lipid bilayer structure made up of a variety of different lipids held together by noncovalent bonds. It shows that lipids are arranged with their hydrophobic tails pointing to the middle of the bilayer and their hydrophilic sections to the outside.
